Were they actually wanting to prohibit indictments on the basis that those indictments would amount to 'injury'? Meaning that anyone can commit any crimes they want, forever, and never be indicted, because 'indictment would be injurious to me'?
Are you fucking kidding me right now? Did these lawyers get their degrees from the University of Because I Said So?
- If I understood it right, their complaint was that Trump was being singled out, which is unfair under the 14th amendment. I wasn't aware that the 14th amendment made it impossible to prosecute criminals.
  
  That's just as circularly weak, of course. When "evidence of crime" is apparent, and that evidence leads to "specific persons," it stands to reason that those persons would be "singled out" to receive indictments for the crimes for which there is evidence.
  Or are they saying that everyone everywhere should be indicted for a specific person's criminal activity?

Suing for the right not to be sued. Isn't our society glorious?

You get a justice boner, you get a justice boner, everyone gets a justice boner!
- So many charges and still nothing but headlines. I'll get a justice boner when justice is actually served. For now, it's just justice blue balls.
